wrapping ssb antenna on kevlar backstay
I looked up the Kevlar website at:
http://www.dupont.com/kevlar/whatiskevlar.html One interesting thing it says is: "Low Electrical Conductivity" What's interesting is what it DOESN'T say...NO electrical conductivity. Food cooking in my microwave oven has "low electrical conductivity", too, as it converts microwaves into heat. Most interesting topic. Dupont doesn't mention anything else as they try to sell the stuff. Larry |

wrapping ssb antenna on kevlar backstay
Actually, Kevlar and similar arimids have a dielectric constant range of
3.5 to 4.5 compared to plexiglass at 2.6 to 3.5.
